Before Lt. Commander John Wesley Harvey took the helm of the submarine USS Thresher in January 1963, he was the executive officer aboard the USS Sea Dragon during an historic Arctic cruise.
Prior to that, he spent three years aboard the legendary USS Nautilus, the world’s first nuclear-powered naval vessel, during the 1950s. He was the sub’s reactor control officer in 1958, when the Nautilus became the first watercraft in history to reach the North Pole.
Before Lt. Commander Pat Garner stepped in as executive officer, or second-in-command, of the Thresher in December 1962, he took part in three epic cruises beneath the Arctic ice during more than four years aboard the nuclear submarine USS Skate. He was aboard the Skate in 1959, when she became the first sub to break thru the ice to surface at the North Pole.

BATH, Maine (AP) Navy Secretary Thomas Harker is touring a private shipbuilder and a public submarine overhaul and repair yard in Maine on Tuesday.
Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King and Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maine are joining the secretary who ll participate in the keel-laying ceremony at the Bath Iron Works for the future USS Harvey Barnum Jr., an Alreigh Burke-class destroyer.
The keel-laying ceremony, which marks the start of construction, harkens to the days of sailing vessels when construction began with a keel upon which the ship is built.
